Yet another first Fear lessl y the tr uth
for Mediclinic Tzaneen
Yet another first for the Mediclinic Tzaneen… when
earlier this week the first cornea transplant was done in the hospital. It might be a first for Tzaneen as well. Dr Shaun Thompson, Tzaneen’s only Opthalmologist, performed the very sensitive procedure. The patient is Ms Joyce Ndlala, a teacher from Kgapane. The cornea was specially imported from Tampa in Florida (USA), since donors in South Africa are not to be found easily. According to reports in medical publications SA’s shortage is growing. The cost of the cornea was almost R16 000, excluding the cost of hospitalisation and the doctor’s account. The hospital’s network marketing manager, Ms Marelize Delport, has urged people to consider becoming an organ donor. “There is an unbelievable shortage of donors,” she said. Delport can be called at the hospital. • Thompson se spreekkamer is by die Patient and doctor... Dr Shaun Thompson is seen here with Ms Ndlala in Ivory Tusk Lodge en sy kontaknommer is the Mediclinic Tzaneen. 015 307 6749.
Merensky Museum Die Hoërskool Merensky spog nou met ‘n eie museum, wat die skool se ryk tradisie uitbeeld. Die museum is Vrydagaand amptelik geopen (nog ‘n foto en inligting op bl 3). Verskeie skenkers van allerhande gedenkwaardighede is deur lede van die gemeenskap geskenk. Die opening is deur ‘n handvol oud-skoliere bygewoon. Die skoolhoof, mnr Magnus Steyn het die lint vir die opening geknip.
Happy
